Recycling is great. I drive a hybrid which makes me feel good about doing my part, but mostly about paying way less money to the oil giants that are TRULY fucking up this planet.
Once a clerk offered me a copy of my receipt and I said "nah save a tree". He looked at me all emo and said "dude you're saving like a millionth of a tree". Instead of slapping his limp-dick face I simply smiled and said "Yes, but my KIND is saving entire FORRESTS". You can't imagine the look on his face as the light flickered on in his dusty, cobwebbed brain. I guarantee you he recycles to this day.
So you see, its not just your actions but your attitude which can turn things around. Stop bitching and start spreading awareness in a positive light.
